Fostering inclusivity, education and belonging.
The business resource groups (BRGs) at Wipfli give voice to and elevate issues inside our firm for under-represented groups.
BRG members and allies provide educational opportunities and serve as champions within the organization to create internal networks and broaden cultural fluency. They also help foster associate engagement, networking opportunities, career advancement and professional development for members.
Each year, our BRGs spend 4,000+ hours organizing events to increase awareness and education. Participation in those events is extremely high throughout the firm. Our DEI-related events add up to more than 16,000 engagement hours.
The leaders of BRGs also participate more directly in the firm’s ongoing DEI initiatives and assist Wipfli in fully integrating DEI into our day-to-day business practices and recruiting efforts.
The members of Valor, a business resource group at Wipfli, gather as a team to discuss how to increase inclusion and support for members of the military and their families.
